What steps to create a mesh on the screen?

I tried to create a mesh on my screen. I already create vertex array to hold all points. I don’t know what the next step I should move on in order to manipulate those data and draw a mesh on the screen.
Anyone explain to me what steps I need to put those points on the screen?
Thank you for any help.
