Hoffner

Hoffner uses a variety of techniques to convey the message of the drawing. In the first one, rather than using lines to separate the rooms, she uses the negative space made by the colors of the room. She adds dark black lines to show the top of the wall. This makes the drawing feel as though the ceiling is a lot more significant than the walls. In the second one, she again utilizes the negative space, but rather than having lines to describe the space she uses a series of differently shaded shapes. This is a different approach to drawing because of the way she uses the grid background and breaks away from it. The next two pieces are both pictures taken from nature. She then adds a drawing in front of the landscape that does not fit. She does this to show how everything use to be so beautiful but now it is being taken over by cities. Personally I like these two drawings because of how they are controversial.
