Famous artist paints with college students

Zack Buster Editor-in-Chief

Thirteen students and faculty gathered on the third floor of the Cade Center for the Arts to paint with a famous street artist in February as part of the college’s celebration of Black History Month.

Comacell Brown Jr., also known as Cell Spitfire, worked with students to paint pictures of tribal masks and various food products, household objects and technology created by

Black individuals from history.

Those canvases will be on display in Room 324 of the Cade building.

Spanish professor Linda Paez, who coordinated the Black History Month event, said it was a good “learning experience” for students to get a better understanding of Black culture and accomplishments.

Brown, who has won various awards for his work, has painted many high-profile murals across the country.
