how do I change a clip art file to svg

[LANUNEMAKER]

I'm very new.. I've browsed the tutorials, but am not finding exactly what I'm looking for because Idon't know the lingo. I want to make a svg file from a Betty Boop clip art that I have that's black and white, though I'd like to break it apart and have a black shadow, then paper piece the face, dress, arms, legs, shoes, etc... can someone point me to a tutorial to do this? I saw one where you can break it up by color, but its a black and white image and I want more than two colors.
Sorry I'm sure this is posted on here somewhere, I just don't know what I'm looking for.
