Source of claim of "first true art school"?

I note under the section "Influences" there is the following claim re Dunedin: "This was the first true art school in New Zealand." Doesn't the Canterbury College School of Art predate Dunedin substantially? Where does this claim come from? MurielMary (talk) 08:58, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Attendance at Dunedin School of Art

I note that it is currently stated that McCahon attended Dunedin School of Art 1937-9 and that after leaving Otago he attended King Edward Technical College Art School('King Edward'). However, the Wikipedia entry on 'King Edward' states it is in Dunedin, which is the principal city of the Otago region. In Simpson, Peter (2001) Answering Hark: McCahon/Caselberg: Painter/Poet. Nelson: Craig Potton Publishing. p.12 the beginning of McCahon's career is dated to the years at 'King Edward' in Dunedin, 1937-9 and the source given in Answering Hark is McCahon's essay 'Beginnings' in Landfall 80 (December 1966) pp 360-4 Jeremydkp (talk) 20:46, 20 March 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeremydkp (talk • contribs) 20:40, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Relocation to Christchurch with Hamblett

In the 'Career' section it states that by 1948 McCahon and Hamblett had relocated to Christchurch. According to Simpson, Peter (2001). Answering Hark: McCahon/Caselberg: Painter/Poet. Nelson: Craig Potton Publishing. p.11, McCahon moved to Christchurch around March 1948 from Nelson but "had not yet found anywhere for his family to live." Simpson goes on to add that Hamblett took the children to live with her parents in Dunedin and she was reunited with McCahon in 1949 (at an address in Linwood). --Jeremydkp (talk) 21:36, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
