在旧金山艺术学院San Francisco Art Institute的本科申请中，critical essay 是一个很好的展示自己写作技能和个人见识的平台，所以在写作的过程中一定要注意在写作过程中展示的内容。一般是围绕以下三个主题写500-700字左右，下面是中英文对照的命题要求：
1.What do you see as the role of the contemporary artist in a global society?
你认为在全球社会中当代艺术扮演了一个什么角色?
2.Write a critical response to a recent encounter you have had with contemporary practices of art or cultural production. You may have seen an exhibition in a traditional space (such as a gallery or museum); you may have attended a performance or a public intervention; you may have come across a web- or text-based project, or something else entirely. Be sure to consider the significance of both the mode of presentation and the content in your account.
写一个对最近遇到的艺术或者文化产品的当代实践的批判或评论。可以是参观在传统地方(例如画廊或博物馆)的展览，或者是参加了一次表演或公众活动;也可以是偶遇了一个网上项目或文字项目。
3.What is the role of art in urban culture? How, if at all, can art provide critical perspectives on issues of urban social and environmental justice, urban quality of life, community identity, the city as a space of diverse cultural encounters, or other issues? How does the practice of art interact with the production of urban visual culture more broadly speaking?
艺术在城市文化中扮演什么角色?它是如何在城市社会、环境公平、城市生活质量、社会身份、多元文化背景的城市这些议题中提供批判性观点的?艺术实践是如何与城市视觉文化产品交融的?
