Led by Candlestar Director, Fariba Farshad, Seeing Drawing was a project involving four universities and funded under the Higher Education Funding council's TLTP initiative. The  partners were Falmouth College of Arts, Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, the University of Ulster and The University of the Arts London. Their work focused on the process of developing visual literacy in students through computer based technology. The result was s a DVD called 'Seeing Drawing' which at 35 hours duration is one of the most exhaustive tutorials ever.

The journey that led to the successful completion of 'Seeing Drawing' was complex and educational. However, as Fariba Farshad, points out, it was worth it. 'I firmly believe that the product we developed is one of the best in the art and design area. However, for me there is something beyond the product no matter how outstanding it is. This is the fact that we built a remarkable team who have developed invaluable experience. What is unique about this product and the team that developed it, is that we needed to invent as we went along. Technology probably met us about one third of the way. But we had to solve problems and invent new approaches.' 'Seeing Drawing' was shortlisted for a British Interactive Multimedia Award - along with Nick Park's 'Chicken Run' and the BBC's 'Walking with Dinosaurs'.
