6 Wednesday, November 19.1975 University Dally Kansan Artist paints from old photographs Artist David Graves, whose collection of impressional paintings is on display at the Elizabeth M. Watkins Community Museum, paints mostly from old photographs and cards, sometimes putting several images together to create new ones. "I like the qualities of old photographs because of the contrasting views of light and dark areas," Graves said Monday in his studio at 139 Verm St. Gravas said that he toned down the stiffness of the images and the photographic quality by flicking small spots of paint around the images. He said that imparted a touch of personality around his characters and made a statement that the artist, too, had been there. Besides painting from old photographs he has found in books, at auctions, at garage sales and in old, discarded family scrapbooks, he also paints from photographs he has taken There are too many things in the visual field to draw one specific element, he said, so Graves photographs images he can work in the controlled environment of his studio. The 30-year-old artist, who considers himself an intuitive and impressionist painter, pursued a career in art. "That way," he said, "I can still remember the feelings I had when I was Graves said that when he was younger, he worked with three-dimensional forms. He said he always thought he would end up working in sculpture. "I realised that I could do more if I drew things rather than tried to construct them." grew his bachelor of Fine Arts and master of Fine Arts degrees from the universities of New York and New Jersey. "Art has been way too structured in the past," he said. "My teachers said to be loose, and I am still learning to infiltrate a work. But they always referred us to master works to imitate. "There were also barriers put up so that an illustrator couldn't work from photographs," he said, "so that he had to draw from real life." Now, Gravys said, much of the structure in art is gone. "I had the confidence to reevaluate all teachers had told me, and I decided I was wrong." Graves began doing commercial illustrations in 1971, and then he combined his classical illustrations with photographs in his paintings. The result was more personal than an illustration was, he said. Once he became confident that he could Once he became confident that he could make a living from his paintings, he said, he Instead of plunging into the commercial 8 to 5 routine with pressures and structured rules, Graves said, he wanted to have fun with his work while he could. "That's why I'm in Lawrence and not in a major city like Chicago or San Francisco," he said. "I'm off my work, I have to have to a lot of things going because not all of them will pay off." Graves has 17 paintings on exhibit at the Watkins Community Museum, 11th and Massachusetts streets, through this weekend. When the show ends, he said, "We will be scattered several exhibitions in Lawrence, Kansas City, Mo., and Nebraska." Gravies is a full-time student at KU. He envisions the cover for a recently released book and will present it. Bridge." Last winter, he illustrated a segment of an animated film; this year and in 1969, he entered the annual exhibit of the Society of Illustrators. "I'm always in a state of charge," Graves said. "Right now I'm about one year behind in producing the thoughts I had a year ago. There is a difference between the mind and the manifestation of the thought, and I'm always trying to reduce that time element."

THE GREEN PEPPER Assembly approves changes in curricula Curricular changes and degree requirements were the main topics discussed at yesterday's meeting of the College Assembly. James B. Carothers, chairman of the Undergraduate Educational Policies and Procedures Committee (EPCP), presented, in conjunction with changes in the undergraduate curriculum. Howard Baumgartel, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, presented, and the Assembly approved, his book, *An Introduction*, by the Committee on Graduate Studies. A student may now apply as many as 25 hours from any school outside the College towards a degree in the College. The EPFC proposal stipulated that only 25 hours from The Assembly voted to return the proposal to EPPC, however, because of ambiguities regarding religion and military science courses. Most of the discussion centered on an EPPC proposal to clarify the procedure for determining how many hours received from other schools and divisions of the University a student may apply towards a degree in the College. The Assembly approved an EPPC revision in the "Explanation of Incomplete" form that would specify both the final date for completion of incomplete work and the grade assigned should the work not be completed. A motion was passed to seat 24 undergraduate students as Assembly members. Those students had been chosen in October elections to fill the undergraduate seats left vacant in the previous election. A majority of undergraduate members in the Assembly Associate Dean Frances Horowitz, who presided over the Assembly meeting, announced that a committee to review the College bylaws had been formed, and that a position for director of honors studies would soon be open.
