I think you can rephrase "such things as proportions" to "things such as proportions", right? Is "such A as B" always convertible to "A such as B" or does it depend? This is seriously important as it's a question of a mid-term exam.

ex)In the middle of the thirteenth century, Matthew Paris drew a picture of an elephant, which was the first elephant that had been seen in England. ...But what is interesting is that in this case the artist was very anxious to get the right proportions. Between the legs of the elephant there is a Latin inscription saying : 'By the size of the man portrayed here you may imagine the size of the beast represented here.' To us this elephant may look a little odd, but it does show that medieval artists, at least in the thirteenth century, were very well aware of such things as proportions...
