Jonas Melin – Teacher and Program Leader

In Sweden’s Upper Secondary School, there is a three year higher education preparatory Arts Program held by S:t Eriks Gymnasium. It features an animation topic that aims to develop students’ abilities to communicate using digital tools.

We’ve recently had a talk with the program leader, arts and design teacher Jonas Melin, to understand his perspective on animation and to hear the Program’s story.

“When we started this Animation profile in 2011, we had a big problem with the render times for 3D. Our computers are good for 2D, but for photorealistic renderings, they are way too slow.” – Mr. Jonas Melin, teacher and program leader
