    CHOUINARD SCHOOL OF ART REBORN, REVAMPED

    When artist Nelbert Murphy Chouinard founded the art school which bears her name in 1921 in an old house on 8th Street in downtown L.A., few would have predicted it would still be going strong - albeit with a three-decade break - in 2006. Chouinard taught the basics, using teachers (including herself) well-grounded in drawing. With this simple formula and an open mind towards art-making, Chouinani School of Art flourished, becoming one of the top art schools in the world for 5o years and the fountainhead for many of the zoth Century's most important art movements.

Tomje restored the property, acquired and trademarked the Chouinard name, and in 1999 started the Chouinard Foundation with Bob Penne (a former student and teacher at the original school who'd already written a book chronicling its past). By 2003 they'd renovated another building in South Pasadena and opened the new Chouinard School of Art. "It's essentially the return to the idea of drawing that was somewhat abandoned over the last 30 years," says Toutje. "No matter what the discipline ... if you can draw well, you'll probably execute your vision more clearly." President/Executive Director Tomje and his team have brought a fresh approach to Chouinani's original model. "We're all artists/teachers," he explains. "We have many people that have many
