This research was conducted in three cycle 1 classes in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland. Based on the creative process of Wallas (2003) and the identified factors of creativity (Lubart, 2003), it proposes to put the posture of creator in a social semiotic perspective by using the multimodal narration of the album as a mediating object. As pedagogical support of choice, notably because of the richness of the offer, the affective dimension of the images and the narration, the album is a composite object whose semiotic complexity forces a process of metaphorical meaning-making described as highly creative (Kress, 2010). As the motivation of the sign-maker depends on his or her interests (Kress, 2010), participation in a narrative that has to find its conclusion places the student in the position of creator-actor of his or her learning. The multimodal medium serves here as a material for (re)conceptualisation in which transmediation (Suhor, 1984, cited in Sullivan, 2017) is put at the service of the creator's posture. The object produced can then take an active role in the construction of meaning (Bowker & Star, 2000), making the process a transformative practice (Conne, 2008) for the learner. Referring back to social semiotics, learning is here considered above all as a process of situated meaning-making (Budach, 2018; Mottier Lopez, 2016) in an anthropological perspective of education (Ingold, 2018).
