Each broadcast consists of an art lesson (1 hour) and airs on Mondays at Noon EDT. Just like our live art lessons that air on Wednesdays, Mondays with Matt episodes are recorded and the replay is posted a few days after the live broadcast. All lesson series, including Mondays with Matt, are available for replay on <a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/members\/learn-live\">this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mondays with Matt features sequential art lessons that are project-based, covering multiple drawing and painting mediums and subjects. Students are encouraged to work along-side to create their own artworks. Art instruction is presented in real-time and students are encouraged to chat and ask questions via the chat box during the live broadcast. <\/p>\n<h2>Accessing the Live Feed<\/h2>\n<p>Users can access the live feed via a button marked \"Live Stream\" (on this page).
