Who made the Principles of Art?

Hi,


I've Googled this to the ends of the earth, and all I get are pages about the principles and elements of art (and design). But I'm trying to figure out who first published this concept? Who and when did people sit down and start hashing out the principles and elements of art?

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
