Phobia Project Examples

Here are two examples of Phobia projects, the fear of being touched and cardiophobia, the fear of the heart. Remember that you DO NOT want to use figures/people to just illustrate the fear you're portraying. Let me know if you have any questions, but BE CREATIVE! The more creative you are and the more risks you take, the more fun you'll have. Good luck! This is due November 1.
