The first project of the fourth quarter had 7th graders using one-point perspective and value to show the illusion of space within a 2-dimensional medium (colored pencil on paper).
I do a lesson very much like this one, except we do a cityscape. You are hovering above the city. Where the vanishing point is (where all lines converge) you would cut off each box to create a building. You could then add a road, trees (basically cloud-looking) cars, a park, anything! Some of my kids make birds up close (where the original square is) and some even draw clouds intersecting the buildings.
