Answer 1

I will not do your homework for you.  But I will help you to understand the meaning of the questions in hopes that you will figure it out - which is more beneficial than me cutting and pasting text into this answer that you could easily do on you own.  The definition of an image is, a physical likeness or representation of a person, animal, or thing, photographed, painted, sculpted, or otherwise made visible.  Your first question is "how" are images created.  There you go.  As to why....why not?

Maybe these aren't the "answers" you were looking for, but maybe you'll learn something anyway, if you put some thought into it.  (that's why you are given homework, or any work......to use your brain, constructively)

Have a super awesome day.

Answer 2

Ok in photography the image is recorded either by light striking the film and creating the image through a chemical process.  In digital light strikes a sensor and is turned into image through an electronic process.  

Other art forms would be through drawing and painting.  

The why of why images are created is as varied as the artist.  Could be a religious or spiritual reason, or simply to record a special moment in someone's life such as a wedding, or to record an historical event, or to capture the beauty of nature such as a breathtaking landscape.
