Help with a Lesson Please

[smurfchops]

My daughter in teaching a lesson to children aged between 7 and 11 and needs an 'artistic' project for these themes: Earth, Fire, Water and Air. Can anyone help please?

How about star signs they could use their own personal star sign and element and maybe draw a picture incorporating them.
Theres some info at the link below about astrological signs

They are the four ancient elements, and are also the basis of astrolgy and the tarot etc.
they also have their own spirit entities known as elementals. If you go to google images and type elementals there's a plethora of artistic interpretation she could use a s the basis for her project.

If it's just 'a lesson' to that age group (which seems a very large span IMO) it would seem easier for her to diivde them into four - one to represent each of the elements. If as you say it's only one lesson she will have no time to introduce the topic .......ie play music/show art/discuss/look at science. She has an hour - they are huge topics!
Divide the class in 4. Let each group - write/paint ot whatever what they feel about those four elements!
It's a very big ask - each one of those should take at least a half-term NOT a lesson!
