Joshua Jacobo is the founder of New Masters Academy, and a professional artist and art educator. He is a leading artistic anatomist and has produced anatomical references, including the New Masters Academy anatomy head series, and other world-class medical and artistic resources.

This class is for 2D and 3D artists, whether they work traditionally or digitally. Joshua will be going through the human figure, excluding the head (which will be covered in upcoming head anatomy class), area by area, to understand the form and structure of the human skeleton, muscles, and subcutaneous tissues, using drawing as a medium.

Students will have the choice to work on paper or digitally. The class will take advantage of Art Mentors’ unique and world-leading resource library of cadaver casts by Eliot Goldfinger, casts of human skeletons, as well as three-dimensional CT x-ray data. Students will also receive PDF files with study guides featuring diagrams, images, and other resources to use for reference, and to keep when the class is over.

Students will be working in the studio from three-dimensional references and will also be assigned homework where they will be working from high-quality images provided by Draw This!™  This class is perfect for any artist--whether you have never studied anatomy before, or if you just want to reinforce your anatomical skills.

Joshua Jacobo is a Californian fine artist, educator, activist, anatomist, writer, and entrepreneur. Joshua is a draftsman and sculptor, focusing primarily on the figure, portrait, and animals. Although he drew as a child, learning the skill from his mother who was an amateur artist, and professional English Professor, and author, Joshua began studying art full-time in 2011.
Joshua’s work is influenced by the High Renaissance masters, as well as the Mannerists, Dutch and Northern European Masters, and some Golden Age illustrators. Recently Joshua has begun more intensive studies of the works of Bauhaus and abstract expressionist artists.
Joshua is an anatomist, creating one of the most accurate three-dimensional sculptures of the anatomy of the human head and neck ever developed and is currently developing a full standing anatomy figure sculpture to be sold as a reference product for artists and medical professionals.
Joshua had his first one-person show featuring thirty drawings in Midland Texas in 2012, only one year after beginning his full-time study of art. In 2012 Joshua also founded the online art school, New Masters Academy as an effort to bring top-level professional art instruction to artists around the world at an affordable price. Today New Masters Academy has thousands of students and is followed by millions on social media. Joshua and New Masters Academy were prominently featured in the popular Penguin book, “The Automatic Customer” by John Warrilow.
Joshua was involved in the original “Occupy Wallstreet” political movement in New York in 2012 where he demonstrated and raised funds for supplies for the Zuccotti Park camp and reported on the police response for NationofChange. Joshua went on to organize with other political movements including End Dark Money, Strike Debt, End Koch Power, Black Lives Matter, and most recently Joshua spent time at the Oceti Sakowin camp at Standing Rock, North Dakota for the resistance against the seizure of native lands by the oil industry. In 2013 Joshua led a campaign that raised $500,000 worth of distressed debt from students and poor American families and abolished it outright.
Today, Joshua manages several companies, in the art, education, and tech spaces and retains his board seat at NationofChange. Joshua is currently developing new artist pipelines for his large-scale sculptural work and teaches drawing for Art Mentors in Orange County California.
