Anatomy Bootcamp: Traditionally, artists knew the importance of understanding human anatomy to create beautiful and powerful works. Art Mentors is committed to doing our part in rebuilding this rewarding and inspirational training approach for modern art students with top living art anatomy instructors and leveraging cutting-edge educational technology and resources.
The Anatomy Bootcamp is a unique and intensive 8-Sundays Summer Training program designed to give artists a jump start on their anatomical knowledge. Artists who enroll in both classes in the Bootcamp will be studying from 3:00 pm to 8:30 pm Sundays in a unique, fun, challenging, and entirely immersive learning experience.
New Masters Academy founder and leading art anatomist Joshua Jacobo has created the world's most accurate and comprehensive digital 3D model of the musculoskeletal system ever offered to artists, the Jacobo Anatomy Model. In Anatomy Bootcamp B: Anatomy for Artists Joshua will lead you through the human figure, area by area, using the Jacobo Anatomy Model as a roadmap and covering the skeleton, ligaments, tendons, connective tissues, and muscles with emphasis on function and form.
Joshua's approach is to teach the actual structures of anatomy, rather than artistic conventions, but to simplify the information down to the essential elements. You will be given online access to the 3D Anatomy Models each week so that you can complete your homework which involves drawing the models from different directions and under different lighting conditions. Joshua has even labeled the critical structures for you and provided information for your notes.
Note: if you are also enrolled in the Anatomy Bootcamp C: 3D Anatomy for Artists the homework will be to develop your clay models rather than drawings.
In addition to working from the Jacobo Anatomy Model, Joshua lectures from CT Scans, X-Rays, photographs, dozens of in-studio skeletons, skulls, and other rare anatomical resources, including the one-of-a-kind Artist Cadaver Casting Collection produced by famed art anatomist Elliot Goldfinger. This priceless resource is the result of years of Goldfinger's work, his collaboration with a museum, and the donation of three individuals to have their bodies used for art education purposes. Joshua has acquired the original castings from Goldfinger and has the exclusive rights to utilize them and reproduce them for educational purposes. These casts show what other modern anatomy classes for artists lack, the forms of the muscles of the dissected cadaver, outside of the medical dissection lab, and in the Art Mentors studio.
This intensive and stimulating anatomy class is unlike anything else taught anywhere in the world and Art Mentors is proud to bring it to our students for the third consecutive term. Each time Joshua teaches this class, new resources and approaches are added to improve the learning experience.
Joshua Jacobo is a Californian fine artist, educator, activist, anatomist, writer, and entrepreneur. Joshua draws and sculpts, focusing primarily on the figure, portrait, and animals. 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.
