Love to Teach Art without the Overwhelm?
Ready-to-teach Art for real classrooms
Discover ‘CampFire’ Drawing Toolkit, a classroom-tested collection of F-10 Line and Shape units.
Core Skills
Each CampFire unit has ten short interconnected ‘line and shape’ mini-lessons. Tasks like sketching, digital techniques, artist learning, quizzes and reflection activities that build confidence over time.
Teacher Guide
Each CampFire Teacher Guide has clear teaching guidance, quizzes with answers, printable classroom resources, and Australian Curriculum v9 planning support, for busy teachers.
Studio Work
Inside each CampFire unit, there are four interconnected projects: claywork, painting and digital. The projects take approximately 3 hours each and help students apply Line and Shape skills through meaningful art-making.
THAT’S WHY I CREATED
THE DROP
The Drop is my FREE resource library for teachers who want to plan smarter, not harder.
You’ll find FREE resources, like mini-lessons from my CampFire collection, so you can sample what it’s like to reduce planning and teach art with the Drawing Toolkit.
Each month, a new printable, template, or classroom tool is added to help you stay organised, encourage creativity, and save precious planning time.

Who’s behind I Love To Teach?
Just a teacher who’s still loving it — and wants to help you keep on doing the same.
Hi, I’m Sylvia —
And I really do love to teach. With over 30 years in education as a primary teacher, principal, and now a K–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 and boundless heart.
A substantial portion of every sale from I Love To Teach 101 provides resources for teachers in the Solomon Islands.
