Fame and professional notoriety: - Learnt that looking at other artists has validated my own work and practice - Through hard work and forging strong links in industry, the ladder can be climbed - Stop comparing self to others and begin to forge own practice within chosen field - Exploring the professional world can open up different ways of working and how important constant progress is Grades from modules: - Reflect upon how much I am developing as a practitioner - Are a strong basis for how my work is improving - Help to push me to work harder to achieve the results I want - Tracking improvement in specific modules indicate which areas I need to work harder on
