The piece from the North Carolina Museum of Art that really inspired me was Peruzzi Altarpiece. When I started this project I did not really have a plan. At the time I was listening to the Golden Age of rap including 2pac and The Notorious B.I.G. These musical artists also inspired my art piece. I saw the Peruzzi Altarpiece on the website and realized that I could replace the religious icons with rap icons. From left to right the rappers that were put into the places were Ghostface Killah, Dr. Dre, 2pac, Snoop Dogg, and The Notorious B.I.G. I took to Photoshop believing that it was the most practical way to create this piece because I could use pictures of the rappers from the internet and add gradients to match the background of the original piece. Once I completed the Photoshop process I decided to mount the finished product on a tri tiered layer of poster board and finally on a piece of wood. The tiers included one for the background, one for the rappers themselves, and one for the frame of the piece.
