Other uses for powerpoint

As an ART History/ Art teacher I would use power point as...

A tool for students to be able to display their work at the end of the school year to the class. All art would be scanned or photographed and the students could have time at the end of the year to present their portfolio, in a fun and dynamic way as they discuss their techniques and inspirations through each individual piece.

Another way I would use it is just a looped slide show of various artworks (accompanied by music) playing as the students came into class. The world of art is way too vast to be able to cover even a great percentage of it within a given year, especially works done by non-western cultures. I would have a power point playing that focused on such non-western works. By having the inclusion of artworks being displayed on a powerpoint as a transition tool, the students would be able to glance over various other works produced throughout the world. Not only would it help their minds transition into the art setting, it would also help them to think critically about the ideas of art made around the world and how it is different from the ideas of western art.
