Cultivating Community, Connections and Creativity: The Staff and Faculty Sketchbook Swap

Art is for everyone! Our annual Sketchbook Swap, started by our imaginative Middle School art teacher Petr Dimitrov in 2014, welcomes all adults in our community to join in a year-long creative journey.

 

Participants receive their own sketchbooks, choose a theme, and let their creativity flow. Each month, the sketchbooks circulate, allowing contributors to add their touch to multiple books.

The Sketchbook Swap is a cherished tradition that fosters connections, builds community, and celebrates the diverse talents and creativity of the people at ISP.  For many it's not just about art -  it's a source of inspiration, rejuvenation and personal growth. Being a part of the Sketchbook Swap provides a space where teachers and staff can express themselves freely, explore new techniques, and collaborate with colleagues from other sections of the school. 

 

At the end of the year, it is always incredible to see the evolution of ideas and creativity of our talented adults on campus! The Sketchbook Swap party is a fantastic celebration of our collective creativity and our commitment to growth, creative experimentation and wellbeing.
