Abstract

This chapter is a revised and extended version of a presentation to the conference on Analysing Multimodal Discourse: Systemic-Functional Linguistics meets Pragmatics, held at Loughborough University, September 2011. It discusses the application of systemic-functional semiotics in the analysis of visual materials, and, specifically, presents a systemic-functional model that is intended to facilitate both the analysis and synthesis of drawings in an art school pedagogical context. The model is explained as developing from Michael O'Toole's (1994, 2nd ed. 2011) adaptation of Michael Halliday's (1973;1978;1985) systemic-functional semiotic model for language, and the article is illustrated with examples of the author's drawing practice, and other works.
