Let bees and blooms fill your art room with this ready-to-teach Year 2 Line and Shape Art Unit. Inspired by Annie Troe and Charley Harper, Daisy Garden connects familiar garden subjects with organic shapes, overlapping forms and symmetry across ten weeks of CampFire learning.
Why teachers love it
Ready to teach: Ten weekly Core Skills mini-lessons of 20–30 minutes connect drawing, artist learning and digital skills.
Shapes students recognise: Daisies, bees and butterflies make it easier to see how simple lines and shapes can build a complete picture.
Flexible pacing: Plan around an hour of Studio Work each week. Students continue projects at their own pace; completing all three is not required.
What students create
Begin with a symmetrical butterfly print, then explore three connected projects: a clay daisy pinch pot, a daisy-and-bee finger painting and a digital garden composition. Digital activities introduce simple layer use, line control and bold colour fills.
What is included
Lesson Slides PDF with artist studies, skill activities, a warm-up, three project briefs and reflection prompts.
Teacher Guide with the year-level planner, teaching notes and Australian Curriculum v9 Visual Arts and Media Arts planning support.

What you will need

Digital PDF download for one teacher’s own classes. Each unit stands alone; no other CampFire purchase is needed.
