triptych concept rewrite

What I wound up doing for the triptych project was making a 6 component piece.  3 pictures are done in black and white and are of me getting changed with a bunch of clothes on the bed, me putting on lotion, and me putting on lip gloss.  These 3 pictures represent what people see on the outside.  The next 3 pictures represent 3 different sides of my personality to demonstrate what people should look for on the inside.  For this reason, the pictures are still in color.  The sides of my personality I picked to use were athletic, sweet, and goofy.  These 6 pictures will be framed individually and the colored ones will be placed underneath the black and whites.  This is because when we look at a group we read top to bottom, left to right.  The viewer should notice the top pictures first, which are the pictures that demonstrate what people see on the outside, what they notice first.

Poem Book Idea

The poem I decided to use was a poem by Shel Silverstein titled "Whatif."

Last nigh, while I lay thinking here, 

Some what-ifs crawled inside my ear

and pranced and partied all night long

and sang their same old whatif song:

Whatif I'm dumb in school?

Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?

Whatif I get beat up?

Whatif there's poison in my cup?

Whatif I start to cry?

Whatif I get sick and die?

Whatif I flunk that test?

Whatif green hair grows on my chest?

Whatif nobody likes me?

Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?

Whatif I don't grow taller?

Whatif my head starts getting smaller?

Whatif the fish won't bite?

Whatif the wind tears up my kite?

Whatif they start a war?

Whatif my parents get divorced?

Whatif the bus is late?

Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight?

Whatif I tear my pants?

Whatif I never learn to dance?

Everything seems well, and then

the nighttime whatifs strike again!

My idea for this poem is to make it into a children's book, possibly using different objects, for example fabric, incorporated in.  The font will remain consistent throughout the book except it will change for one word in each whatif.  For example, the word divorced may be in a font that's broken apart.  I am not going to assemble this book normally, I might put it on a blanket, or use one of the examples from Professor Ruane's e-mail.
