Great answers above.

Bowing affects dynamics, expressions and phrasing.

Generally you play the downbeat, or first beat in a measure down bow. A pick-up to the first bar would be an up bow.
Down bows are used more often for accents.
Down bows are used for diminuendo's (decreasing volume)
Up bows are used for soft entrances, pickups, careful beginnings.
Up bows are used for crescendo's (increasing volume)
Slurs are used to connect notes smoothly.

The trick is to experiment and figure out what sounds the best musically. Once you have experimented enough, it will begin to make obvious sense to you.

I think music is the language we paint pictures with and the bow is used for punctuation.
