That depends on what you want your future in game development to be. Do you want to be an artist?

Coding skills

The Game Design forum is the wrong forum for programming questions.

I spent the last year focusing entirely on learning how to code better. Big mistake.

Disagree. You have some basic knowledge, and you will build on that the rest of your life.

Game dev requires basic coding skills,

Game development (not game design) requires specialists. Programming is extremely important in game dev.

and lots of art and modelling talent, right?

Art is another specialty in game dev. Yes.

Should I spend the next year doing art classes…?

Have you chosen a degree to go for? If you keep changing your major, it's going to take a long time to graduate.

If you are having difficulty choosing your career focus, that's a question for the Game Career Development forum. But first you should read https://sloperama.com/advice/lesson7.html​

And watch some YouTube videos. Do a search there on “so you want to be a game developer” for starters. I'm a fan of the Extra Credits ones.
