For storing stock like wood scraps, my best recommendation is vertical cubbies in a corner. This makes use of corner real estate in your shop. One cubby can store 4x8 sheets, one long stock, and then you can subdivide another cubby into four 1-foot sections for smaller stock. If you ever see how stores like Home Depot vertically store stuff like 1x2s, that type of storage is what I mean.

This is one place where Pinterest ideas can get a bit too "Pinterest-y" - lots of rolling, spinning, hinging, stacking storage ideas that look great in web photos. I wrote more about wacky garage organization ideas here: Garage organization madness

My strategy is: determine what goes in the corners, determine what can be stored overhead, determine what can be stored hanging on the walls. Then I see if anything can be stored behind, on the sides of, or in a crawlspace underneath the shop. Then I throw stuff away as much as I can bear it. That's my path to the holy grail of garage organization: open floorspace. I also like all shelves, pegboards, and workbenches to have at least 25% free space.

Not sure about the old art project though; you might have to poke around in Google to find it.
