Why is it important?
The unique aspect of the article is that it treats the medium of drawing as a semiotic system, and shows how semiotics can be a useful way of both producing and making sense of drawings.
Perspectives
The article is based on my experiences of teaching drawing in art schools in Australia, Malaysia and the UK.
