May’s Artist in Residence
Jackie Friel
Jackie Friel is a PreK-2nd grade Art Teacher on Cape Cod.
Jackie firmly believes in the arts as a therapeutic outlet
for children and adults and that it is important to promote
individuality, build confidence, give support and praise to
promote the love of creativity with all learners. Her
hobbies include spending time with her husband, Dillon,
their French bulldog, George, jewelry making, crocheting,
painting, swimming, and walking on the beach. Jackie is so
excited to start this creative journey with Outside the Box
Creation, and we’re so excited to have her!
The mission of May’s project is to open kids up to the world
of color and encourage them to know that there’s no right or
wrong in color mixing, just like there’s no right or wrong
in art.
This Month's Box
Minimalism vs. Maximalism
We will be sharing more about this month's project in the coming days! Stay tuned!

About Minimalism vs. Maximalism
This September we are taking a leap into the world of style. Learn the differences between minimalism and maximalism in a step-by-step fashion that still leaves plenty of room for self expression!
Young artists will get to explore a number of materials involved in this min v. max box including multiple kinds of paper, paints, glue, and a nifty paint palette made of recycled paper.
Layer after layer of bright colors and patterns will give kids the hands-on understanding of more is more, the defining feature of maximalism. Then, follow along as Artist Claire shows how to reduce the clutter to create a streamlined, clean, and less is more piece to represent minimalism.
Once your young artist gets a feel for both, they’ll have some solid tools in their kit to work on creating their own aesthetic.
September’s book is a heartwarming story of Pura Belpré, a Puerto Rican-American librarian who created bilingual story time in public libraries. Pura’s Cuentos: How Pura Belpré Reshaped Libraries with Her Stories by Annette Bay Pimentel is a great example of how to use your voice to change the world around you for the better. Magaly Morales’ illustrations straddle the line between bold, beautiful colors of maximalism and the smooth, simplified look of minimalism.

They had been fighting all day…because siblings. Literally, the minute our doorbell rang, the energy in the house turned to joy reminding us that our hearts sometimes just need a dose of creativity.
– CHANDA
I’m using it with all 4 of my kids at once preschool – 5th grade. Everyone is able to work on the same project at their own ability level. All the best to Outside the Box Creation!

I ordered the summer boxes for my 6 year old grandson. He loved them, and so did we. The art supplies that come with the box are top quality, and the addition of a book and a special theme make these boxes exceptional.

The customer service is prompt, kind, and helpful. I recommend this monthly subscription to anyone who wants to teach both art appreciation and hands on projects.
