Morphology

art + class

The meaning 'a class where students learn visual arts' is directly and compositionally derived from 'art' (the subject) + 'class' (a course or set of lessons). This noun + noun/NP modification pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows straightforward semantic combination, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the expression.

Etymology

Art class is a lesson where you make pictures, paint, or create small sculptures. The word art means drawing, painting, or sculpture and class means a lesson with a teacher, so art class means 'a class to learn and practice visual arts'.
