This article discusses the application of systemic-functional semiotics in the analysis of visual materials, and, specifically, presents and demonstrates the efficacy of an original systemic-functional model that facilitates both the analysis and synthesis of drawings in a cross-cultural context. The model is explained as developing from Michael O’Toole’s systemic-functional semiotic model for painting (O’Toole 2011) itself an adaptation of Michael Halliday’s systemic-functional semiotic model for language (Halliday 1973, 1978, 1985). The article is illustrated with examples of work from China, Europe, and the authors’ drawing practice.
