Take a bucketful of...
sad worksheets headed for the recycling depot.
Let creative minds run wild in the school yard reusing this paper for interesting texture rubbings. 
Paint
... and paint some more.
Break out the pencils, rulers, and scissors - or do some free-hand cutting.
Arrange on paper.
Glue.
Decorate to taste.
Mount on dreary hallway wall, accompany with poems about the city and enjoy! I love that the children took rejected worksheets and made interesting rubbings from ugly pavement and fences. It's also cool that out of our school's gritty school yard and refuse would come such novel city skylines. This art activity was taken from the Usborne Book of Art Ideas.
I posted a copy of PJ Harvey's "You Said Something" on the wall. It's from her album, Stories From the City Stories From the Sea. Dig.
