of Electric Sheep?
// Poster & Interactive Drawing Project
Create a visual work — a poster or an interactive drawing — that brings the world, themes, and big questions of Philip K. Dick's novel to life. Your art should show what you think and feel about the story, not just what happens in it. There are no wrong answers here!
01 — Choose Your Format
Traditional poster (paper, markers, paint)
Digital poster or illustration
Interactive / annotated drawing
Collage or mixed media
02 — Ideas to Explore
Themes & Motifs
Illustrate themes like love, empathy, or identity. Show how they appear in the story visually — what do they look like as images?
Real vs. Electric
Capture the contrast between real animals and electric ones. What does this difference mean to the characters — and to you?
A Philosophical Question
Pick one big question — "What does it mean to be alive?" or "Can a machine truly feel?" — and make it the heart of your piece.
Your Take
Add a line or two in your artwork — your own thought on why Philip K. Dick's ideas still feel relevant today.
03 — How to Get Started
01
Pick your question. Decide which big idea from the novel sparks something for you. Let that anchor your whole piece.
02
Sketch it out first. A rough layout helps — where will your central image, themes, and words sit before you commit?
03
Make it yours. Use color, symbols, and contrast intentionally. What does "empathy" look like as a shape? What does "electric" feel like as a color?
04
Share with the group. Bring your finished piece to the next meeting and tell us about one choice you made — and why.
