Chouinard Art institute in Los Angeles was were Walt Disney recruited his help. I noticed there are a lot of Chouinard's that visited the White House residence.



Founded in 1921, the Chouinard Art Institute was a leading professional art school in Los Angeles until it was absorbed into CalArts. It was established by its namesake, artist and educator Nelbert Murphy Chouinard (1879–1969), for the training of both fine art practitioners and commercial artists. The school was located in the Westlake section of L.A., just south of MacArthur Park.

By the 1930s, the motion picture industry was recruiting Chouinard alumni in increasing numbers and in a wide variety of departments, from art direction to costume design to animation. Walt Disney in particular took an interest in the work being carried out at Chouinard, and many of the animators who worked on early Disney classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio and Bambi were Chouinardians.
