This week’s project seemed at first a bit intimidating but after thinking about it, I decided creating a mosaic representation of a portrait using “tiles” of another image would be an approachable yet interesting approach. The portrait photo this project is based on is a photo I took of my friend in a car holding her small dog named Rocky. The tile photo I used for the mosaic was a close up of Rocky’s face.
