One of his favourite animals is the kangaroo, which is important to many of Australia's First Peoples.

Vincent Namatjira (Western Aranda people) paints portraits of important historical figures, from his great-grandfather Albert Namatjira to international heads of state, and politicians such as Australian prime ministers.

In this activity, Namatjira invites children to adopt 'power icons' such as paper crowns and hats. Once you have chosen your power icon prop, have your photograph taken in front of the backdrop.
