Students
Among her early students was Anthony Heinsbergen, who went on to become a leading muralist. Also attending, with film careers in mind, were three time Academy Award winner for Art Direction, John DeCuir, Sr.; Randal Duell; and legendary Disney artists such as Herbert Ryman, Mary Blair and John Hench. Every major Hollywood film studio in the late 1930s and early 1940s looked to Mrs. Chouinard to provide the talent pool for their art departments and many legendary film and entertainment design careers were launched under her guidance.
Chouinard was important in the Westcoast art movements from 1921-1972.

Famous quotes containing the word students:
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
“President Lowell of Harvard appealed to students ‘to prepare themselves for such services as the Governor may call upon them to render.’ Dean Greenough organized an ‘emergency committee,’ and Coach Fisher was reported by the press as having declared, ‘To hell with football if men are needed.’”
—For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
