The main objective of this article is to give artists in deviantART the opportunity to see the way that other fellows artists in deviantART express their "moods", "Emotions", "Fears", "Sexuality". The main reason of this article is to show the different types of feelings which are not others than the ones that describe the physical sensations.

The word "Feelings" is usually reserved for the conscious subjective experience of emotions, and we all have different ways to react to them, now the first serie of this article will be towards the six primary emotions

Happiness
Surprise
Disgust
Fear
Anger
Sadness

So the fourth article will be directed to the emotion Fear which is an emotional response to threats and danger. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of pain. Fear should be distinguished from the related emotional state of anxiety, which typically occurs without any external threat. Additionally, fear is related to the specific behaviors of escape and avoidance, whereas anxiety is the result of threats which are perceived to be uncontrollable or unavoidable.

A vivid description of fear was by provided by Charles Darwin in his book, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals:

"Fear is often preceded by astonishment, and is so far akin to it, that both lead to the senses of sight and hearing being instantly aroused. In both cases the eyes and mouth are widely opened, and the eyebrows raised. The frightened man at first stands like a statue motionless and breathless, or crouches down as if instinctively to escape observation. The heart beats quickly and violently, so that it palpitates or knocks against the ribs... That the skin is much affected under the sense of great fear, we see in the marvellous manner in which perspiration immediately exudes from it... The hairs also on the skin stand erect; and the superficial muscles shiver. In connection witih the disturbed action of the heart, the breathing is hurried. The salivary glands act imperfectly; the mouth becomes dry, and is often opened and shut"

Fear is expressed in the face by the following features:

_{Widening of the eyes.
Pupils dilated.
The upper lip rises.
The brows draw together.
The lips stretch horizontally.}

Fear can be described with different terms in relation to the degree of fear that is experienced. It varies from mild caution to extreme phobia and paranoia. Fear is related to a number of additional cognitive and emotional states including worry, anxiety, terror, horror, panic, and dread. As an individual emotional state, fear can affect the unconscious mind, where it can become manifested in the form of nightmares. Fear may also be experienced within a larger group or social network. In this way, personal fears are compounded by social influence to become mass hysteria.
