and never signed another of his sculptures. robably didn't need to. michelangelo became so famous during his lifetime his work was known far and wide. with art smart, i'm katie. - [host] it's time for word! here's a chance to test your vo find the real meaning thhe word. let's start with this one, ephemeral. is it an adjective that means having to do with art painted on a wall. is it an adjective that means lasting only a short time. or a noun that means c name of a pain relief medicine. the answer is lasting only a short time. this game of word is ephemeral but the lessons last a lifetime. we hope. let's try this one irrigate. it's a verb. maybe it means to annoy constantly. or it could mean to make wet or supply with water. or it means to drill with a rotating tool. ouch!

no, irrigate is a nice verb. it means to make wet or supply with water. farmers irrigate their land so crops will grow. now let's try this superfluous. it's an adjective that means either beyond what is necessary extremely graceful or being really, really sick with the flu. superfluous means beyond what is necessary. just your thanks for this me of enough. anything more would be superfluous but i'll take it anyway. ephemeral. lasting only a short time. irrigate. water. superfluous. beyond what is necessary. that's word for kids news! - it's time for another important message from the national road safety foundation.
