When speaking about history, one initially thinks obviously of the concept of time or the "when" of it all. This alone does not begin to delve into an answer. I say AN answer, not THE answer because we're talking about art and the beauty of art, is that it is largely left up to interpretation. Inextricably tied to the "when" of creating are : why, where, who, what, and how. Some easy to answer, others requiring years of ponder, and still others can only be speculated upon. But once again the beauty of art. I shall attempt to answer the easy questions, tackle to tough ones, and speculate on the quandaries. Since this book is to be used largely as a learning tool, the "how" will be dealt with in great depth. To do this however, we must first touch on the other questions to get a good foundation for my method of tackling the "how". We will begin with "why".
