    Shivani, not being able to "unlearn" something is definitely true for conceptual understanding. I'm a certified teacher, and I spent a healthy amount of time studying the difference between concepts and skills. Once a concept is learned and fully understood it will last a lifetime. You might have to dust off a concept if you haven't thought about it in years but you'll never fully forget it.

    Skills, on the other hand, need to be practiced. Art, especially at the application level, is a skill. You can loose skills fairly quickly if you stop working on them. That's why warm ups and daily practice, even just 15 minutes like Elmuercielago said, are so important.
