The Port Show
September 28, 2017 - February 4, 2018, Toyota Children's Gallery

The Museum Education Department collaborated with Burbank and Mann Elementary schools to create art projects to which school curriculum and national standards were applied. From these projects, a large scale mural was created in the Toyota Children’s Gallery. The art projects included:

  •  2nd Grade – Palm Trees: Exploring plant diversity and by extension, human diversity
  •  3rd Grade – Sea Monsters: Created after an examination and discussion of familiar animals
  •  4th Grade – Exercise in Scale: Cut out barges were filled with shipping containers while thinking about realistic dimensions
  • 5th Grade – Geometry and Angles: Practical math applied to recreate a photo of the bumblebeelovesyou installation at the Museum
  • 5th Grade – Number Concepts: Drawing 6.8 million shipping containers, the annual number of inbound and outbound containers at the Port of Long Beach.
