A cylinder has circles at both ends which are joined together by parallel lines that create the solid shape. Draw two circles and connect the edges with two lines. This will give you a drawing of something that looks like a rod or dowelling. The lines can be wavy or curly if you like. This is how we might draw a candy cane. A piece of string is a long flexible cylinder which we can even draw tied up in a knot! Two circles connected by very short lines will make a disk. Task: Draw circles and connect them together in as many ways as you can imagine. Look around you through the day. See where you can find cylindrical shapes.
