Students learn to assess fine art as they are introduced to mythology from different periods in art history in a course named "Mythology in Art History." Students' critical thinking, analytical skills, and topic knowledge will improve with each successive unit. Through exposure to a wide range of 2- and 3-dimensional artworks from a variety of historical and cultural contexts, students will gain an appreciation for, and an understanding of, the components of art and principles of design. Following their rise to prominence, the Pandyas were also avid art patrons. Some examples are the Jaina caverns at Sittanvasal and the Tirumalaipuram caves. It is not uncommon for kings and priests to accept myths because of their religious or spiritual significance. The common belief is that myths about ancient times are accurate.
