Creating Blender's basic objects
You've done well in learning how to select vertices, edges, and faces. As a change up, let's start out by looking at the ready-made objects that Blender has, which you can use as a start for modeling. In Chapter 2, Getting Comfortable using the 3D View I listed the different kinds of objects that Blender handles. Now, you will create them yourself. The pre-made ones are called Blender's Basic Objects. You make them in the 3D View. They will be created wherever the 3D cursor is.
