Thank you and here's your shmoop du jour brought to

00:05

you by style Hopefully the sea makes the best dressed

00:09

list During the following passage releases our teacher riel arch

00:14

cubism with that it's like colorful block that you turned

00:21

it off colors Okay we're done What change needs to

00:27

be made to sentence seventeen and hear the potential answers

00:32

All right so then seventeen Here we go All of

00:36

these artists had very different styles but there are still

00:40

some commonality between them All right well it doesn't need

00:43

a total overhaul Just some minor tweaking Well on second
