Testimonials
What I really liked about the course was how engaging it was through the use of different mediums such as text, visuals, and audio. The images used were especially helpful as they helped me imagine textiles that I didn’t know of. The course structure is accessible and the chapter-wise revision through quizzes helped break down large portions of information.
I’m an Art History student and the knowledge that I gained from this short course has added a layer of understanding in terms of interpreting paintings, sculptures and other artefacts. The intermingled history of textiles and cultural narratives has fascinated me from time to time, and I’m grateful to MAP Academy for this enriching experience of fun learning.
I have thoroughly enjoyed taking MAP Academy’s Short Course on Textiles from the Indian Subcontinent. The course allowed me to learn about India’s textile history in a manner that was stimulating, informative and engaging. I'd highly recommend this course for those who are interested in contextualising India’s history in an extremely unique way.
The Short Course on Textiles of the Indian Subcontinent is very well designed in terms of content and technicality. It touches on all the important aspects of the topic and reflects the thorough research done by the team. Such courses by MAP will go a long way to give a foothold in the basics of the topics to those interested.
