What a stunning display of talent at Design Conclave 2026 by our School of Creative Arts!

From sensory, interactive exhibits by our Fashion students and engaging games by our Game Design students, to fabulous films, sketches and models by our Animation students and truly impressive work by the School of Visual Communication Design! Every creation reflected imagination, skill and passion.

Grateful to our students, faculty and staff for bringing it all together so beautifully. It is truly fulfilling to see our students thrive in the creative and collaborative environment at Whistling Woods International 💟

For the third consecutive year, our first-semester students begin their folk art journey with a Madhubani-style self-portrait assignment. ✨

Through this project, students create self-portraits incorporating three elements that represent their personality, interests, and individual stories. The assignment serves as an introduction to the rich traditions of Indian folk art while encouraging self-reflection and creative expression.

Each year, it is inspiring to witness the diversity of ideas and the thoughtful interpretations that emerge through this exercise. The individuality and creativity reflected in every artwork make this assignment a meaningful beginning to the semester. 🌿
