“You’ve been accepted to Itoonly’s Fine Art Program,” the headmaster at Itoonly’s Finest Art School said to Miss Ivy as she felt her paws heat up in excitement. “Thank you for this opportoonity,” Miss Ivy replied as she smiled with glee. Miss Ivy dreamt of becoming an art educator to some of the most brightest and creative toons in the Tooniverse, and would hone her skills for the next few years at Itoonly’s , “Artoon School for the Arts.” Their motto was, “If you can create it, dream it, imagine it, then the Tooniverse will open its minds and expand its horizons.” Miss Ivy was prepared to study some of the most famous and established artists that the Tooniverse had ever seen, from Pigcasso to Wassily Catdinsky she didn’t prefer any movement in the arts; she loved them from all ends of the spectrum. The headmaster declared that she pick a specialty to study for her few years and she decided to major in Meowdern Art, her favorite artist being Henri Meowtisse. Miss Ivy focused on practices of Meowdern Art for young toons with exercises like oil painting and toon portraits. Her favorite portrait was of the Meowna Lisa. She admired her ambiguous expression and the beauty in which she was painted. Her professor of portraiture was Cluck Close, he taught her new ways of portraying some of her closest toon friends in a realistic style.
Every weekend she would stop by Jelly Beans, the café and study with a group of her friends. Over the next few months she began to study Impressionism and really found the brush strokes captivating. She fell in love with Claude Meownet’s water lily paintings and decided to focus some time on studying landscape paintings as a side project. From here she expanded her horizons and exposed herself to more of the art Tooniverse. She visited the Meowdern Art Museum in Itoonly and came across one of the most beautiful landscape painting she had ever seen. She came face to face with the “Starry Tooniverse,” by Vincent Van Goat. She was mesmerized and set out to teach young toons ways to capture their emotional beauty within their art. For the next couple of years, Miss Ivy hired toonters to hone her painting and drawing skills while she continued her Fine Art studies in Itoonly. Over the next couple of years she began to show her artwork in galleries all over Itoonly and had the pleasure of meeting Andy Warthog, a very famous Meowdernist. He told Miss Ivy about a friend he knew in Toontown named Pete who was a professor at the Toontown Schoolhouse. He told Miss Ivy to contact Mister Pete because they were looking for a Fine Art’s professor for the School of Vine Arts in Daisy’s Garden. Miss Ivy was excited and forever grateful for she was a hard worker and had a passion for Fine Arts. She wanted nothing more but to share her passion for the arts with young toons aspiring to become Artoons themselves. Miss Ivy gave Mister Pete a call and he asked her to fly into Toontown in the next couple of weeks to talk about the open position. She was so excited that she began to develop and organize her portfolio for the trip. For the next couple of days Miss Ivy continued her studies and found herself to be the top of the class. Her aspurrrations were coming true, and her hard work was about to pay off. She flew on a six hour flight to Toontown and met with Professor Pete. She had a few months left at the Fine Arts School in Itoonly, which was purrrfect because they weren’t looking for a Professor until the next term. She presented her portfolio of the works she had been developing over the past few years, and Professor Pete was impressed. He asked her to speak to his class about Meowdern Art briefly to see how she felt teaching. She told the class about artists like Mary Catsat, Marc Catgall, and, Frida Cathlo. They loved it, and she loved teaching. Professor Pete saw her passion and invited her to study under him for a month after she graduated. He said after that month he would decide if she got the job at the School of Vine Arts, and she agreed. Miss Ivy flew back to Itoonly to finish her studies, and she focused long and hard at the tasks ahead. She would study into the nights, painting and drawing whenever she had the chance. She was so excited to be studying under Professor Pete that the remaining time she had in Itoonly flew by very fast.
It was graduation day and she graduated top of her class and was awarded Itoonly’s Finest Artoon award by the headmaster and his colleagues. With no time to celebrate, Miss Ivy boarded a plane to Toontown and studied under Professor Pete for a month. In this month she painted and sculpted with his class, and opened their minds to many artists. She felt like she was fulfilling the Artoon School for the Arts motto of expanding the Tooniverse’s horizon. After the month had ended, Professor Pete was inspired by Miss Ivy. Although he taught more than art, he had grown a larger appreciation for the arts and aspired to draw more focus on the arts and its history. Professor Pete asked Miss Ivy to visit the School of Vine Arts on Oak Street in Daisy’s Garden and see her new home. Miss Ivy’s eyes welled up in tears of happiness as her dreams were coming true. She would spend the rest of her life inspiring young toons to become artists themselves through her passion and their own passions. Miss Ivy would become known as Professor Ivy, the professor of Fine Arts at the School of Vine Arts. When the new term began, Professor Ivy had a curriculum jam packed with interactive projects and history lessons. The young toons love her and continue to be inspired every day.
