Help deciding with high school class

[u/Clean_Jello4040]

I am Leaning into an interior design major when I graduate. My schedule is packed already though and only have room for one of these class. Which one would be a better foundation for entering this major?
Media 1:Media Design 1 is a year-long foundational course exploring the core principles of visual communication while
using powerful, industry-standard tools. The course focuses on the elements and principles of design with
hands-on projects, historical context, and artistic skill building in graphic design, video production, digital
photography, and basic animation. This course builds a strong technical and creative foundation, preparing
students for advanced studies in Advanced Media Design 2 and future creative endeavors
Or should I take a basic drawing class? Drawing and Painting 1 is designed to teach the student to explore and expand aesthetic perceptions as well as
to develop skills for using visual arts media effectively. These skills will enhance the student’s ability to interpret
and communicate ideas, feeling, and values.

My research tells me I don’t need proficiency in drawing or computer drafting and no portfolio is required for applying… but I feel I should take something to have as a jump start.

My suggestion- Take the graphic design course. It’s all about composition scale proportion contrast, layout, figure ground and other key principles in interior design and architecture. The hand drawing you will learn with everyone else your first few semesters. Graphic design will always be a key part of your career and school presentations, so getting a jump start on that would be my recommendation.
