Kristen Mills at ConVal Highschool

February 21, 2024

Visual artist and Fellow Kristen Mills joined 40 students (combined arts and aesthetics & ideas classes) at ConVal to talk about her artistic process and her ongoing investigation of how one navigates the world. Starting with a quick exercise based on instructional drawing, Kristen walked through how construction is important as a base of reality and how it converts into believability in her short films.
