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.

Famous quotes containing the word students:
“We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process. We should forcefully explain that our role is not to teach them to think as we do but rather to teach them, by example, the importance of taking a stance that is rooted in rigorous engagement with the full range of ideas about a topic.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)
