I suggest you try the projects at all three levels regardless of where you feel you are as an artist. Reviewing skills and challenging yourself to learn new skills a bit beyond your current ability is how you grow stronger as an artist and master the skills that are important for you to be able to express your own experiences in the style you desire.
