8. History

9. Wikipedia Says:
Who popularized or even invented the
term Concept art in reference to
preproduction design is ambiguous at
best, but it may have come about as
part of automobile design for concept
cars or as part of the animations
industry. Certainly, both industries had
need for people who did this job even if
the term had not come into use.
References to the term Concept Art can
be found being used by Disney
Animation as early as the 1930's.
