Documentation is a very important component in the Art in Action project. Documentation exists in many varied forms and formats, and the characteristics of any example of documentation vary depending upon the role and purpose of the documentation. Documentation for the purposes of Art in Action has several roles and purposes. Documentation will be used as a participant assessment tool, as a project evaluation tool, as a transformative component of inquiry, and to disseminate information about the goals and outcomes of the project. Considering these contexts, it is evident that documentation for the purposes of Art in Action is both a process and a product.

Examples of documentation include the residency reflection form, daily sketchbook and/or journal entries, visual journals, video recordings, photograph documentaries, electronic presentations, wiki pages and blogs.
