Voicethread would be an amazing way for art students to share their critiques and break out of the conventional way of teaching the class. Art teachers can scan student work to display for students to critique (amazingly the kids love seeing their work blown up when they can see all the nooks and crannies of their talents, but a voicethread could take it to the next level.
Example of a voicethread for art history by Michelle Pacansky-Brock. Her blog MPB Reflections-21st century teaching and learning is a great resource for instructional technology and art instruction.

Voicethread is a new open source application that allows you to upload pictures, videos, or powerpoints/slideshows on the web. What is nice about it, is that you can add audio or text “commentary” on each slide. If your students or colleagues have voicethread accounts, they too can view your shared “voicethreads” and make comments as well. Some great applications include:
promote critical thinking by having students comment on specifically chosen photos of historical events in social studies
have foreign language students complete discussion and assessments
upload class lectures and powerpoints for additional reinforcement and help for those that are absent
student projects on a novel, event, or concept.
Here is a very INFORMAL voicethread I made. Nothing serious, but it shows the basics of the program.
