2. What is 2d animation?
2D animation focuses on creating characters, storyboards, and backgrounds in two-dimensional environments. Compared to 3D, a 2D animation will only move, linearly from the middle, left to right, and up or down. 
2D animation uses bitmap and vector graphics to create and edit the animated images and is created using computers and software programs, such as Adobe Photoshop, Flash, After Effects, and Encore. These animations may be used in advertisements, films, television shows, computer games, or websites.

3. Animation LESSON
I took a lesson from lynda.com. There were a variety of information about 2D animation.
I also took a great advantage of YouTube tutorials. After completing an animation tutorials. An animator's job is to study scripts and get into the character's frame of mind to design a believable character. More specifically, 2D animators can:
Develop storyboards
Design characters
Arrange characters and items in a scene
Use computers to create graphics, motion and animation
