Try the Drawing Toolkit in your classroom for FREE. Download three ready-to-teach art lessons for Foundation, Year 4 and Year 9, with curriculum connections, from the CampFire collection.
Why Teachers Choose the Drawing Toolkit
CampFire is the first Drawing Toolkit collection: a classroom-tested range of year-level Visual Arts and Media Arts units featuring ready-to-teach Line and Shape art lessons. If you love to teach art but don’t love spending hours planning it, CampFire gives you a clear pathway that helps students observe closely, draw with growing confidence, learn from artists and create meaningful artworks.
Core Skills Lessons
Ten short, interconnected Line and Shape mini-lesson ready to teach slides: combine drawing practice, artist learning and digital techniques. Some mini-lessons include studying an artist followed by a short quiz, keeping each mini-lesson within approximately 20–30 minutes.
Teacher Guide and Resources
Each year-level CampFire unit includes a Teacher Guide with clear teaching guidance and Australian Curriculum v9 planning support, plus a Quiz Book with answers and a Resource Pack of printable classroom tools.
Studio Work
One quick warm-up task and three connected projects: clay, painting and digital art. Each main project generally runs for approximately three hours, over three weeks. Clay comes first so drying, firing and glazing can continue while students begin the later projects.
One Term. One Clear Pathway.
If you love to teach art but don’t want to plan every lesson from scratch, each CampFire unit provides approximately one school term of connected learning, clearly sequenced and ready to use.
Want more Freebies?
I have created a FREE resource library for teachers who want to plan smarter, not harder.
You’ll find FREE resources, including CampFire mini-lessons, so you can experience how a ready-made pathway can reduce planning while supporting confident, creative teaching.
Each month, a new printable, template, or classroom tool is added to help you stay organised, encourage creativity, and save precious planning time.
Sign up for my monthly newsletter ‘The Drop’ to access the growing collection of FREE resources.
Who’s behind I Love To Teach?
Just a teacher who still loves to teach, and wants to help you keep on doing the same.
Hi, I’m Sylvia —
And I really do love to teach. With almost 40 years in education as a primary teacher, principal, and a F–12 Art teacher, I’ve learned that creativity and organisation aren’t opposites, they’re a teacher’s secret strength.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned? Even the smallest resource can make a world of difference. That’s why I started I Love To Teach 101, to help you stay inspired, organised, and creative, while also supporting teachers in under-resourced classrooms.
My passion for equity began in the Solomon Islands, where I helped build and lead a primary school for eight years while my husband served in the national hospital. That experience showed me what teaching can do, even with limited tools.
A substantial portion of every sale from I Love To Teach 101 provides resources for teachers in the Solomon Islands.
