To answer your specific question, you start by knowing your own race's style. To learn other styles you must find (or buy from the crown store) racial motif books. The playable races from the game are blue racial motif books, with the exception being imperial which is legendary. Blue racial motif books can be found in any of your factions level 1-50 zones (or Cyrodiil). imperial can be found in ANY zone. Epic (purple) motifs (ancient elf, daedric etc.) will be found in the OTHER factions zones, when you are Veteren (bit more specific than that, but that's awhile from now)

Dwemer can be found whole as a book, or in pages - in dwemer ruins.
