1 Share of the drawing artist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the street artist profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A drawing artist role treats 9 of its required skills as things a street artist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • art history
  • contextualise artistic work
  • create digital images
  • create original drawings
  • discuss artwork
  • ensure visual quality of the set

What stands in the way is 10 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A drawing artist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a street artist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held create original drawings communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held create digital images communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held plan art educational activities management skills
  • already held collaborate with a technical staff in artistic productions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held discuss artwork communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held select artistic materials to create artworks communication, collaboration and creativity

All 18 carried skills, including the 9 the drawing artist role treats as required.

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
