The art works stunned me; not only were the colors bright but all of the paintings donated were creative, individualistic, and were showing originality.
The art work was stunning; not only were the colours bright, but each of the many donated paintings were creative, individual, and showed originality.
The artful work was stunning me as the colours were bright, and each of the paintings that were donated were creative, individual and were showing originality.
AMIN & THOMAS: Your use of "stunned" gives a different meaning to the sentence, and do you mean that only the donated paintings were creative, etc.?
ABBY: You're on the right track here, but again think about your use of "donated". You also need to think about parallel construction.
Im slightly confused about the “donated” “donating”. The paintings were not actually donated but the rather they are contributing to the overall art works?!? And the last sentence repeats itself – creative, originality, and individual, right?
The art work was stunning; not only were the colours bright, but many of the donating paintings showed originality.
The artful work was stunning, not only the colours were bright but each of the many donated paintings were creative, individualistic and showed originality
ABBY: Donated and donating--these are the past and present participial adjectives. The first has a passive sense; the second has an active sense. Think about who does the donating. As for the last sentence, you have a series of adjectives/adjective phrases--they are similar in meaning but not identical. You may want to rethink your interpretation of these two points;-)
UZMA: You have made some improvements here; now think about adjective form, verb position, and punctuation;-)
