Tibet - Block Prints

These two little boys are Tibetan Monks (in training) working on traditional block prints. In Tibet, much like Japan, respect for art is established from very young. It seems it is much a part of their daily lives. Art is more of a functional aspect of their cultural, rather than a luxury or extra curricular activity. It enriches lives and nurtures talent and discipline. I love this picture, just the way the ink is all over the floor, and they are sitting on the floor, there are submersing them self into the experience of it, that’s how I want to raise my children! The textures and lettering are so much more of an expression than the English language in written form. I love to get my hands wet and create; this is what this photo inspires me to do.
