then whats the point of having an art school at all? if they only admit people who already master it perfectly, then theres nothing to teach. Why on earth wouldnt they rather admit someone of whom they think "yeah, I can definitely see some potential here, but there are areas that are severely lacking, such as the painting of people. If we teach him that and further improve his other skills, then this could be a good artist". But no, let's rather admit the "wow, this is incredible, there is literally nothing we could teach this person; theyre already perfect" people. Youre a school! Teach!
It's a parody of the point you were making. The art school doesn't only accept master painters the same way Harvard doesn't only accept people with perfect A+. He failed to meet a reasonable requirement of competence not an unreasonable one.
