4th/5th Grade Secret Cities– Drawing in 3-d, shading

Secret Cities
The 4/5s learned  how to draw 3-d forms and include shading and shadows.  They stacked these shapes to make a “secret city”.  
I got this idea from a book about drawing by Mark Kistler.
Hand-drawn image of several flagpoles with various geometric shapes and flags displaying numbers and equations, enhanced with subtle shading.
Sketch of abstract structures labeled "City Hall" and "Office," featuring various shapes and configurations, enhanced with shading to give a 3-d drawing effect.

This artist had a series of television shows that taught kids how to draw 3-d pictures step-by-step. 

Pencil sketch of abstract stacked shapes, including a heart and a "Hotel Delfino" sign with a small dolphin graphic.
