Joshua Jacobo is the founder of New Masters Academy, a professional artist and an art educator. In this class, you will learn the foundations of the Constructive Drawing Approach, a powerful and traditional approach for drawing from imagination or reference.
This class is designed for beginners and for artists who are looking to revitalize their drawing skills. This class will have a special emphasis on describing form, creating an illusion of three-dimensional space, and leading the viewer's eye through the drawing with gesture and rhythm. You will also learn how to handle value grouping, and how to design shape.
Unlike many other drawing classes, you will be working from the Art Mentors plaster cast collection, as well as drawing from organic objects, geometric solids, and drapery. This class will take advantage of both live reference and photographs.
You will be provided with an iPad during class, pre-loaded with beautiful high-resolution DrawThis!™ reference images of plaster casts, drawing forms, and more to work from each week. These images will also be shared with you every week so you may practice at home.
This class is IN-PERSON ONLY at our studio in Huntington Beach, CA. There will be no video recordings of this class to purchase online. You can attend all 8 sessions of this class for $399.
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.
