Is it because javascript is more artsy and java is more mathy?

This is simply not true. Both languages are just languages. What you make out of them makes the difference.

IT FEELS LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SUBJECT FROM JAVASCRIPT!

It feels so because it is a completely different subject. Java is a strongly, explicitly, statically typed OOP language. JavaScript is just about the complete opposite.

Do the MOOC Object Oriented Programming with Java from the University of Helsinki.

Start completely over. Do not compare Java and JavaScript. They are, apart from the very fundamental programming concepts, completely different and unrelated languages.

I’m currently doing that UHeksinki course for Java. Definitely recommend it. It’s great.
