Missing Files for Custom Post Types

I am working on "how to make a website with wordpress" I am on the section right after the section where you install the two plugins: Custom Post TypeUI and Advanced Custom Fields. I am trying to follow along on a site hosted at godaddy.com.

At approx. 11 seconds in, it talks about transferring 3 php files from the local download directory to the child theme directory: art.php, content_art.php, single_art.php.

First of all I dont understand why these would be on my local PC, however I have searched my local drive AND the Wordpress directory at Goddady for this site and there are NO such files.. Please help Thanks Dan

Underneath the video there's a Downloads tab that includes a zip file containing those three files. Upload those into the folder for the theme you're currently using and you should be good to go.
