On Monday, Oct 31, the Art I and Digital Imaging teacher Mr. Kleckner, felt it was time to take down his much respected DC and Marvel sketch. The illustration stretched 25×4 feet across the outside of his classroom in the upper F-building. Mr. Kleckner began sketching the characters at the beginning of the year and completed the project on Friday, Oct. 28.
When he first launched the project, he sketched in front of his classes and had the students take notes on the sketch and his technique. Sometimes he spent hours on Fridays after school adding more characters to the drawing. The figures include Wolverine, Cyclops, Spiderman, Captain America, Wonderwoman, Ghost Rider, Daredevil, the “Thing”, Flash, and several others. In all there were exactly 36 superheroes.According to Kleckner, the feedback has been very positive so far. When asked why he decided to take down the art, he was quick to express his disappointment as he pointed out the tear about one fourth of the way across the work of art and the soda splash a few inches above it. Kleckner said, “It’s pretty impressive that it lasted that long.” He wishes he could create another brilliant piece, but unfortunately he’s busy with school and the curriculum.
