Student ‘speed painter’ is a YouTube sensation

UW-Green Bay junior Mike Groe is a YouTube sensation. His “speed painting” video has 325,000 views. The Design Arts and Communication major and graphic design specialist has been speed painting for just more than a year. The relatively new art form is primarily a digital exercise in which the artist paints on a time budget, using already developed methods to create a work of art. Danielle Bina, an instructor in electronic media and public relations, has been helping Groe promote his work.
