The book Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland is simply put a guide to your own art. According to the authors’ art is not easy. We as humans make art hard and we assume certain beliefs that just are not true. These beliefs get in the way of making our art. They can lead artists to quitting and stopping when the goals are reached; never going beyond their dreams. People begin to fear not only the process of art, but the repercussions of art itself. We fear that what we envision is not what we make. The imagination and potential of a piece dwindles as the work progresses. Bayles and Orland say that material is constant; it is molded by our own hands and imagination. These materials are controlled by us and should have room for the endless
While art does have its advantages, it will not solve everyone’s problems. It is true that not everyone enjoys the thrill of creating a beautiful masterpiece because they might have been forced to take that class. However, those who love these classes show that there is a relationship between creativity and
Do all living things fear something? Those with minds surely have many and various fears, but even the simplest organisms must have fear, for fear is such a powerful feeling. Fear is all around us and is felt in every corner of the earth. Fear is the emotion or feeling that a living creature gets when its physical or mental life is interrupted by a change that causes the creature concern.
Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that something is dangerous, that it could cause one harm. For example, when some general from Russia hunts a human on an island in the middle of the ocean, would cause one to experience fear. In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, we see how Rainsford feels about hunting, what causes him fear, and how he deals with these fears.
Scared and nervous, does not know what to do. Should the girls keep on accusing others of being with the spirit, or should they confess? Fear can cause you to do many things that you would not normally do. In some cases, oneself could lie, accuse others for doing things that they did not do, or fight back. Although some people may think that fear is not the greatest motivator of human behavior, people usually do things that they would not normally do, which leads to lying, fighting, or a change in emotion and attitude.
Fear applied to control occurs everywhere throughout history. Subconsciously enforced to make society behave a certain way, the Salem witchcraft trials used fear to make women accused of witchcraft confess to save their lives. Furthermore, victims of the McCarthy hearings betrayed their comrades due to this motivator. In The Crucible, a drama written by Arthur Miller, these trials from the 1690’s serve as an allegory for the McCarthy trials in the 1950’s, yet Miller did not only write The Crucible due to this, while other reasons include his fascination about the Salem Witchcraft trials and a warning for the future.
In the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, the theme of the power of fear
The American-Soviet relation marked a great degree of cooperation and symbolizes the defeat of Nazi Germany. However communism, McCarthyism, and the clashes between the countries perished the alliance between America and the Soviet Union.

Charles Stanley once said, “Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins.” This quote from Stanley is saying that fear makes difficult to accomplish tasks.
Could the landscape of fear really affect anything? Well this article it states a lot of facts that it indeed does. I never really understood what it might by "landscape of fear," until I read this article twice. All the evidence in this article proves that it is hard to disagree that it doesn't affect anything.
Culture of Fear, by Frank Furedi, is a book that looks at how widespread fear impacts Western cultures like the United States and Great Britain. Frank Furedi believed that society tends to panic too much, as we actually enjoy "an unprecedented level of safety." I admit that Frank Furedi's novel is based upon a novel concept, and an interesting one at that. However, Frank Furedi comes off to me as little more than a fear monger and an intellectual elitist. His book, to me, seems redundant more often than not. But sometimes part of college is learning about points of view that you may not agree with, so I tried to maintain that perspective when I read the book.
Fear is the number one obstacle everyone must overcome at some point in their life. When the word fear is brought up I like to think of past situations that I experienced. There are many different methods used to conquer and learn from our fears such and exposure therapy, having a growth mindset, and thinking positive. For example, when I was younger fear was my worst enemy, School was the main reason that caused my fear. My fear of failure was my biggest obstacle growing up so I used that as a method to learn from my fears.

The history of art dates back to ancient times. Artwork can be, and was, found around the world. What makes art interesting is that it can be created in any way, shape or form with any materials. It seems that the artwork can also tell us a lot about the artist. Art seems to be simply, a direct, visual reflection of the artist’s life. Therefore, one can assume that an artist’s life experiences and beliefs directly influence their art. If we look at examples from different periods of art we will be able to see the connection between the artist and the art.
Adrian Flynn’s playwright “The Valley of the Fear”, adapted from the novel by Conan Doyle, demonstrates how the writer uses techniques to convey an impression of suspense and mystery through scenes with a high level of anticipation and uncertainty. Suspense is achieved through the use of literary devices and events that stimulate the viewer’s moods. Readers wait with anticipation for the next secret to be revealed in strong, sudden scenes. Furthermore, Doyle creates a sense of tension by never giving the reader an entire answer so they can make up their own mind about what’s happening.
