Baby would have to learn how to crawl before they could stand. Then proceed with taking their first step and start walking. Once they build the muscle, they then can run. Studying anything is like that, including art. Art start out with a blank page, then proceed with sketching ideas to finalize it with adding in color. You cannot expect a child to draw a square if they do not know how to draw a straight line. It is a reason why we teach our students in different age group.
A child brain develop differently at different age and the comprehension skill played a big part in understanding a subject. Participate in a try-out will allow both teacher and student to comprehend their level of ability and knowledge.
Learning within the age group allow them to compete with one another within their age abilities. This will drive them to surpass their limit.
Art is not about how good you can replicate a sample. Art is about the creativity of a piece with your own signature style. To create one's signature style, one would have to go on a journey of discovering and learning everything that is about art. That bring back to learning a subject would be starting from the bottom of the ladder.
Allow your child to develop variety of skills but let it be with the right process. Not only will it apply only to art or any other school subjects, but it will also help them to build their future career.
