SHORT COURSES

Fileteado is a type of artistic drawing, with stylised lines and flowered, climbing plants typically used in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is used to adorn all kind of beloved objects, signs, taxis, lorries and even the old Colectivos, Buenos Aires' buses.

Filetes (the lines in Fileteado style) are usually full of colored ornaments and symmetries completed with poetic phrases, sayings and aphorisms, both humorous or roguish, emotional or philosophical.

They have been part of the culture of the Porteños (inhabitants of Buenos Aires) since the beginnings of the 20th century.

If you feel confident about your Spanish for only US$60 you can take a 2 months short course on this local art and learn about it's history, technique and materials.

The group will get together once a week and it's a great way to learn a typical art, practice your spanish skills and support the community, since the course it's organized by the Almagro+ Boedo Community center!
