1] donate, store, and throw out as much as you can - art, books, clothes, etc. BE RUTHLESS!
2] get some clear underbed storage bins for clothes, shoes, etc.
3] put shelf dividers on closet shelf - put winter hats, scarves, gloves; then folded sweaters and long sleeved Ts; then purses in a row; then visors, summer hats, any beach tote etc.
4] put shoe racks on bottom of closet - boots, warm shoes [ hiking etc. ], dress shoes; then school or casual shoes; then summer and last 'cruddy' shoes to paint or clean garage with.
Put a clear storage tub between shoe racks or at one end for all the flip flops - throw away ancient or single ones.
5] look for a second hand file cabinet you can paint to match your room; and a large book case.
a] put current texts on top shelf, and current art on other end or second shelf.
b] keep all school supplies in desk, art stuff in cabinet
[1] consider a second or taller cabinet for art
[2] get a cheap portfolio [ plastic ] to store finished work, and store behind desk or dresser, whichever is easier to reach
c] keep a folder of notebook paper, graph paper if needed, pen and pencils, in desk, and in locker
d] put all assignments in appropriate folder as soon as finished
5] buy a second hand trunk for storage and table space - you can decorate it if necessary.

ya you dont want clean advice from me... i cant see my bed or the floor lol! and omg my closet... i can't even open it without things falling out of it! i'm very very messy... but you can always put some stuff you dont use anymore in an attic or basement if you have one, and you can get rid of stuff you dont use anymore... good luck!
