Which university employed Georgia O'Keeffe as an art teacher in West Texas from 1916 to 1918?

West Texas State Normal College employed Georgia O'Keeffe as an art teacher from 1916 to 1918.

O'Keeffe taught at West Texas State Normal College in Canyon, Texas, from 1916 to 1918. The institution later became West Texas State University and is now West Texas A&M University. Her teaching there followed earlier positions in South Carolina and Virginia.

During her time in Texas, O'Keeffe made drawings and paintings inspired by the surrounding landscape. She also taught students to think beyond copying visible objects, encouraging a more personal and experimental approach. Her West Texas years helped connect her teaching career with the development of her modernist style.

The school is often identified by its current name, West Texas A&M University, but the historical name during O'Keeffe's employment was West Texas State Normal College. That distinction matters because the question asks about the institution as it was known in 1916–1918.
