scanning using deflection coils driven with sawtooth current waveforms to fill screen with closely spaced lines and modulating beam current to produce variations of brightness. color is a bit more complex as it uses three beams to vary brightness of three colors of phosphor: red, green, and blue along with a thin steel shadow mask to ensure that only the right beam hits the right color phosphor dots.

Do the magnets in a television make the picture?

No. Or rather, it's a lot more complicated than that. Magnets are important in a cathode ray tube style television, but they don't "make the picture". The picture shows up as a result of an electron beam hitting the phosphor-covered inside of the tube. The magnets are used to steer the electron beam. In an LCD or LED type television, there are no magnets and an entirely different process is used.
