There is often a bit of competition between people who teach science or math and the artistic community, but it's been well established by many studies that combining things like kids drawing classes alongside science courses can enhance a child's intellect from many different models. Getting a child interested in art is a great way to get their mind turning about the world around them so as to enhance their ability to grasp advanced mathematics and scientific ideas used in school. It should always be the case that a well rounded education is the best way to grasp advanced ideas in any type of class.
