In this paper we show that an R-module graph over a semisimple ring R can be written as a direct sum of graphic submodules that are uniquely determined up to isomorphism type. Moreover, this decomposition enables us to describe the R-module graph in graphic terms as a disjoint union of connected components, each of which consists of a complete directed graph on its vertices together with a set of loops at each vertex, determined by the loops at 0. We also give a graphic version of Maschke's Theorem.
