CDS High School Issue 20: April 24th, 2015 Weekly Newsletter JUX-TA-PO-Si-TION CDS Gallery is proud to announce that the search for writers for the gallery website is over. The winners are Suzie Park, Jinee Park and John Choi. Writing for the gallery will be a great opportunity to showcase their talents and interests and it will certainly help on their college applications. Below is an excerpt from the first review, by Suzie Park, on the website of our current exhibition. To read more please visit http://www.cdsgallery.weebly.com/news--review “There is something perfect to be found in the imperfect: the law keeps balance through the juxtaposition of beauty, which gains perfection through nurtured imperfection.” - Dejan Stojanovic Portraits of humans with canines for heads, mismatching labels towards iconic figures, and surreal representations of the human body; the incongruous aspects emphasized by the artworks in this exhibition all remain true to the theme of juxtaposition, the positioning of two strikingly different images or ideas together to create a contrasting effect. And it is the sharp distinction that occurs within each painting, each sketch, and each model that leaves such a strong impression. The exhibition can be distinguished into three main groups. The first section is composed of large portraits of easily recognized figures in society. As many recent visitors to the gallery can attest to, the first impression that is received is, literally, the giant figure of Charlie Chaplin on a blank white wall. The other subjects include Emma Watson, Michael Jackson, and Kim Jong-un (diverse). All four of the drawings are large scaled, and divided into four different sections, each of the parts with slightly mismatching drawing styles, as different students worked together to create one portrait of their celebrity. The subtitles, marked under the drawings, attract even more attention, as they so sharply contradict the normally conceived ideas regarding the figures.

CDS 6 v Chadwick JV 0 Friday afternoon, the sun is shinning and school is over for the week what better to do than head to the soccer field to watch the boys of CDS take on the junior varsity team of Chadwick. The CDS team certainly didn’t disappoint! Fielding several younger players and some squad members it took little time for CDS to convert their dominance into goals. Captain James Park got the scoreboard moving with a well taken first before YS normally a star on the basketball court exploded onto the pitch his drive and run was impossible for Chadwick to handle and in a blink of an eye he had a hat trick and retreated back onto the bench to preserve his fitness for the upcoming derby fixture. Making his debut for this year Kevin Choi reminded the fans what they had been missing out on as he concentrated on academics and college entry over the early part of the season, with a performance that oozed class. 2 goals and an assist was his reward the finish for the second showed composure and great footwork.
