Michael Yeomans
Artist Bio
Michael Yeomans was a former president of the National Society of Education in Art and Design. He died on 12th June 2021, peacefully at his home in Portaferry, Northern Ireland. Yeomans was educated at Enfield Grammar School, Middlesex from 1946 to 1951. He received an Entrance Scholarship to the Slade School of Fine Art at UCL and graduated as a painter and etcher in 1955. At the end of his first year, he won the Slade Perspective Prize. At the end of his second year, he was offered a residential visual arts award at the British School in Rome, but sadly had to decline due to family circumstances. He entered Hornsey College of Art and Design, London from 1957 to 1958, and was awarded the University of London Art Teacher's Certificate in 1958. Yeomans began teaching in comprehensive schools in London and Essex. He gained further experience teaching evening classes in Pentonville prison. A growing interest in further and higher education resulted in him securing posts at the Salford School of Art and Industrial Design, and later in the Department of Environmental Design at Manchester Polytechnic (now Manchester Metropolitan University).
Yeomans continued to be a practising and exhibiting artist throughout his life. He was also an accomplished musician who was awarded an Associateship of the Royal College of Organists in 1964. He gained a Master of Philosophy in 1985. He taught art in Secondary Schools, Colleges of Further Education, and Polytechnics. He was passionate about bridging the gap between the various levels of art and design education. This he sought to do, not only through membership of the NSEAD, but also by developing links between schoolteachers and the institutions in which he worked. Yeomans last post before early retirement was Dead of the Faculty of Art and Design and Assistant Director of Manchester Polytechnic (renamed Manchester Metropolitan University).
