About Me
My name is Yacob Olins. I was born in Portland Maine. I have one sister. I speak english at home. I wish to become an engineer, preferably aerospace, and merge that into my own business. In five years I see myself either starting my own business, working at an engineering firm, or in grad school, or in college as a result of a gap year. My uncle and aunt went to college for art and my mom is an art history major and my great aunt and great cousin went to college for art. I am most proud of my honesty and integrity. I enjoy doing sports and reading and relaxing and building things and booling around with my friends in my free time. I enrolled in photography because I enjoyed photography 1 and because I wanted to get better at documenting the rad adventures I go on. I don't have any photographers that I am most interested in at this point. My ideal job would be an aerospace engineer. Three adjectives used to describe me by Kyle were "thic thicc thiccc".

I was drawn to this piece because I really liked the color scheme, and the leading lines drawing behind the manatee. I liked how the maroon and yellow and green complemented each other. I found that the leading lines of the yellow algae drew my eyes to the manatee. The rule of thirds just made the piece stronger
Kyle Dorsey, Cosmic Bison, 2016, 45x36
I was drawn to this piece because of the simplicity of it. I really liked how there were very few brush strokes but so much detail. I also really liked the pairing of the blue and red and yellow. The leading lines of the bison drew my eyes to the center of the face. The combination of the darker blues and purples with the lighter yellows and oranges creates a complicated emotion. It gives the bison a moderately demonic sense while leaving the piece almost soft feeling.

I was drawn to this piece because of the simplicity of the design. I really liked the body trailing into lines. I also was drawn to the color. I really liked the way that it lightened from the top left down. The juxtaposition of the light and dark colors also draws the eyes to the head and center line of the fish.

I liked these pieces because of the simple geometric designs. I like how they are in seemingly random places while still maintaining a geometric nature. I also like the juxtaposition of the white and orange. The use of blank space on the vases draw the eye out from the center and to the edges.

I liked this piece because of the lines. I like the buildings on the outside edges leading the eye towards the horizon and the large yellow tree. I also like the walkway lines leading in the same direction. The brilliant colors really top the photo off.
