Which university did Georgia O'Keeffe attend for a summer art course in 1912?

Georgia O'Keeffe attended the University of Virginia for a summer art course in 1912.

The course marked an important stage in O'Keeffe's development as an artist and teacher. At the time, she was exploring modern approaches to art education and was influenced by the ideas of Arthur Wesley Dow, whose emphasis on composition and personal expression shaped her later work.

O'Keeffe subsequently taught art in Texas and South Carolina before moving to New York. Her early training included several institutions, so the University of Virginia is sometimes confused with the Art Institute of Chicago, the Art Students League of New York, or Teachers College at Columbia University. Those schools represent different parts of her education and professional development.

Her later abstractions and paintings of flowers, landscapes, and New Mexico subjects made her one of the most recognized American modernists of the twentieth century.
