function setup() {
  createCanvas(480, 480);
  background(255);
  photo.loadPixels();//load the pixels of the underlying photo
}

function draw() {
  for(var x = 0; x < width;x+=10){
    for(var y = 0; y < height; y+=10){
        var c = photo.get(x,y);//stores RGB value of pixel at (x,y) in array c
        noStroke();
        fill(c);
        rect(x,y,10,10);//draw rectangle at (x,y)
        var r = c[0];//assign items from the array c to variables
        var g = c[1];
        var b = c[2];
        noStroke();
        fill(r-40, g-40, b-40);
        rect(x,y,8,8);//draw circle inside the rectangle
        noStroke();
        fill(r+20, g+20, b+20);
        ellipse(x +5,y+5,4,4);
    }

For this assignment I was inspired by Chuck Close’s portraits made up of squares with detail inside them, and wanted to recreate this effect within my portrait. I like how the end result looks a bit like a lego portrait.
