Art Class or Painting is a course you can have Olive take in Princess Maker 2. After taking enough lessons, you can paint "Advent of Angels" which is the highest level painting Olive can do. The class raises Art and Sensitivity, and lowers nothing.

Other Info[]
Filkins will offer to have Olive make a painting after every four Art Classes she attends, and the painting that results actually depends on her Art Skill at the time. "Advent of Angels" specifically requires an Art Skill of 90+, which will take approximately 12 classes to reach. However, if Olive has been raising her Art Skill from other sources (i.e. Fairies, or from Dance or Poetry classes) prior, or dependent on RNG, it is possible for Olive to have to spend less time in Art Classes to paint it.
Consequently, the score that Olive gets in the Art Contest is always the same as the amount of Art Skill Olive had when she painted the submitted painting, and is reset only when she paints a new one after taking another four Art Classes. This means that Olive is almost guaranteed to win the contest if she has "Advent of Angels" painted; It is still possible (if rarely) for Filkins to beat her by 1-2 points if Olive painted "Advent of Angels" with an Art Skill of 94 or less (reload if that is the case).
Constantly being able to win the Art Contest in this manner will give Olive a steady 5550g (4000g + 500g monthly allowance + selling the Master Brush, which unlike the Royal Sword can be sold safely without repercussions) every year, and will be a great help to setting Olive up for your other desired endings --- especially if you don't particularly care about dealing with her Rivals in the first place.
