So I want to go into 3d animation and signed up to take AP Studio Art to help my portolio. but recently I got a job and my guidance counselor STRONGLY suggests I don't do both at once, for the art teacher gives 2 hours of homework almost daily.

I need this job to be able to afford college, but I still want to go to an art college and am willing to work on my portfolio at home on my own time.

Will not taking AP Studio Art in my high school career make the difference of getting/ not getting accepted into a 3d animation college?
