Just as you used aller with the preposition à and a place to show where you are going, you use venir with the preposition de and a place to show where you are coming from.

To show what you're going to do you follow aller with an infinitive. When you want to express what you just did, conjugate venir, follow it with the preposition de, and an infinitive showing the completed activity.
Je viens de faire mes devoirs.
Je viens d’étudier. **Remember that de contracts in front of a word that begins with a vowel.
