(* or, if you want to vary brightness as well and get your students lost :-)
mappingFunc[{x_, y_, scale_}] = {x/scale, y/scale,
yourbrightnessfunction[x,y]};
*)
data[n_] := Table[mappingFunc@{j, i, n}, {i, 0, n}, {j, 0, n}]
data[3]
Graphics@Raster[data[10], ColorFunction -> Hue, ColorFunctionScaling ->
